And Then It's Spring Worksheets

by Julie Fogliano

Reading Level H · Lexile AD600L · ATOS 2.3

Everything all around is brown, so a child plants seeds, wishes for rain, and then waits. After a week, the child worries that the birds or the stomping bears got the seeds, and after one more week, the child even puts an ear to the ground to listen for a greenish hum. Julie Fogliano's quiet, lyrical words and Erin E. Stead's gentle pictures (a dog, a rabbit and a turtle wait too) show just how hard it is to wait for spring.
